Mac DeMarco recently stopped by BBC Radio 6 for three different performances – a solo acoustic take of "The Way You'd Love Her" (taken from his forthcoming mini-album Another One), followed by a full-band run-through of "Let Her Go" (from Salad Days) and "Still Together" (from 2). He also discussed cutting the new album in Far Rockaway, Queens. Hear the whole session and interview here via the BBC.

Update: Watch footage below of DeMarco being escorted out in handcuffs, as the crowd chants "We want Mac!", via Stereogum.

On Friday night, Mac DeMarco's show at UC Santa Barbara came to an unexpected, early end – not because of tech issues or overzealous fans, but rather a run-in with the police. TheSanta Barbara Independentreports that campus police shut down the show, held at a space on campus called the Hub, twice: first as a response to moshing and roughhousing, and later to detain DeMarco himself after he clambered onto the venue's ceiling beams with the help of the crowd. The latter incident ended DeMarco's performance, but he wasn't charged with a crime and can continue his antics in Europe as originally scheduled.

Subbacultcha! has released Squish'Em, a video game that has you play as Mac DeMarco while attempting to kill as many crawling insects as you can by stubbing them out with cigarettes. DeMarco's recently released Salad Days makes for excellent companion music, assuming you don't immediately X out in frustration. (It's at least as hard as Flappy Bird.) Play it here.

Mac DeMarco is a talented, impish kid who hasn't quite decided what kind of rock songs he wants to write-- which is fine, because he's sounded pretty good doing anything he's tried out so far. This spring's Captured Tracks EP Rock and Roll Night Club saw him testing out a bunch of different poses: a grunting low-rent Michael Hutchence lothario, a husky-voiced troubadour. On the upcoming Mac DeMarco 2, he seems to have settled on a single sound, at least for now: warped, winsome, and gently hypnotic jangle-pop reminiscent of Cass McCombs' first album, A.
